35% justified. It seems like there's always a third that support this vile leader. No matter what, maga loves him.

When 35% are too stupid at best, too evil at worst, to see what's fundamentally wrong with what happened, it's damning of the whole. How do you end up with a 50/50 split in whether shooting an unarmed mother in the face is acceptable? The whole culture accepts shootings too easily that this even becomes a question to ask.
I mean I talk about how only 1% of folks goin by the protest react negatively and seem to be maga but then I see this and im like. W! T! F!
I assume that 35% also believes Ashley babbit or whatever her name is did nothing wrong
What concerns me is that this essentially lines up with Trump's approval rate (or lack thereof). How many people are actually reasoning themselves to a conclusion rather than just having their sides opinion told to them? Have they actually seen the videos and watched them with a critical eye? I did, and it's pretty damning for ICE.
But here's the other side of it: how many of you were surprised Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted on any of his shootings? I saw the videos and I was not surprised by the rulings that landed, yet I've seen many comments calling him a murderer.
Inb4 "both sides": I am a democratic socialist and union activist. There is a good chance I'm further left than a significant portion of those who would reply to me, but the truth is the truth.
According to r/conservative, the video completely exonerates the murderer. “She laughing and relaxed.” Tell me you’ve never had an interaction with a woman that wasn’t her choice without telling me.
ICE agents shouldn't even be drawing their weapons without justification, for this exact reason. I keep seeing videos of them just standing around with their guns out. It's fucking insane.
ICE shouldn't need weapons at all unless they're directly finding someone with a violent conviction.
this exactly. Its funny to watch old cop shows where they debate the need to pull out their gun and fire.
